For those who have not seen that wonderful moment in ILL basketball history.

It is especially nice to win against the very evil Sampson.

Most programs would love to have BU as their BB coach. That said, I don't think that he will ever get to a Final Four (unlike Coach Weber). However, he will get the team into the tournament every year (unlike Coach Weber).

And one more. https://www.facebook.com/groups/528668579765626/

Here is a brief article about DeLuxe. https://www.smilepolitely.com/splog/deluxes_famed_fish_sandwich_is_returning_for_a_limited_time/

The one that I recall was DeLuxe but there may also have been Seaboat.

You are right - now I remember. DeLuxe was really good! Thank you!

Does anyone remember the name of the restaurant that served really good fried fish sandwiches back in the 1970's? It was a little take-out place in a little mini-mall at the edge of campus town (on the Champaign side).

AP ranked IL number 12 to start the season so it is not only the fans who thought this would be a better team than it has been. https://www.on3.com/sites/orange-blue-news/news/illinois-ranked-no-12-in-ap-poll/

Why do I care when it looks like most of the team doesn't care?

This is a sad day for Illinois football. Every time I think that the program has turned the corner another brick/iron/steel wall awaits.

I vote for a human symbol carrying a weapon. Maybe a pioneer with a flintlock, a cavalry officer with a sword or a Chicago gangster with a Tommy gun.

I live in SEC-land. My wife calls SEC football a cult. She is right (as always).

Post of the day.
